Rosa!" Sally says. "The police are here to help you, not to hear a lecture on comparative murder rates.
Where mermaids live looks a bit like your pool.' said Bernard. 'Except they build houses out of whale bones and the wreckage of sunken ships. They play chess with seahorses. They wear capes of fish scales and sleep on beds made from seaweed.'As we listened, I thought I heard a slight splashing from the far end of the pool.'At night,' Bernard continued, 'they turn on an electric eel for a night-light, and they light a fire, and the smoke goes up a chimney made from coral.''Wait a minute,' interupted Zoe, clearly immersed in Bernard's description. 'If they live underwater, how could they have a fire?''You should ask them,' said Bernard.Zoe and I open our eyes.Now, look, I know the light was just playing tricks on us. And I know we'd all probably inhaled too much sequin glue. But for the briefest moment, the blue of Zoe's pool gave way to deeper, darker aqua-colored water.

They splashed and dove, their laughter making the same sound as the water.
The beautiful wooden board on a stand in my father__ study. The gleaming ivory pieces. The stern king. The haughty queen. The noble knight. The pious bishop. And the game itself, the way each piece contributed its individual power to the whole. It was simple. It was complex. It was savage; it was elegant. It was a dance; it was a war. It was finite and eternal. It was life.
Divided - No tides of time or distance will wash away your step. It does not fleet as they do, those gladiators and their mighty spears or the beasts that howl into the dark for release.

What Will Linger/Hollow of Him - They crept so quietly back. Mere hints of words, at first, then whispers in the loud echoing a winter past. In this place, hollow of Him, his poetry resounded. I could almost taste the fragments of the worlds he had discovered. I remember the ache in his words; you could see each syllable smoulder in his gaze.
She plays chess from the passions and I play it from logic and she usually wins. Once, I took her queen and she hit me.__hough, he recalled, not sufficiently brutally to require that he tie her wrists together with his belt, force her to kneel and beat her until she toppled over sideways. She raised a strangely joyous face to him; the pallor of her skin and the almost miraculous lustre of her eyes startled and even awed him.
Everyone have a game, everyone is playing in his own game and his own game he is the king the others are the other figures from the chess.
It's hard to run from checkmate, checkmate is like the dead... but it's possible to block it. Unfortunately dead you can't block it, but checkmate can be blocked, in such way so the player can't make it.
If I had wanted to be a pawn in a game, I would have taken up chess...
Our parting was like a stalemate_.Neither of us won. Yet both of us lost.And worse still _ that unshakable feeling that nothing was ever really finished.
The reason I like the game chess is because each move has countless repercussions, but you're in charge of them. And it's your ability to see into the future and the effects of the decisions you've made that males you either a good or not a good chess player. It's not luck.
I__ not into danger, either._ __w, Chess. You so into it you ain__ climb out with a rope. Why else you do your job, live down here, buy from Bump?_ __t__ just__ mean__ just do, is all._ Her cheeks burned. She shouldn__ have let him come in here. She should have just sent him home and let him wash his stupid shirt himself. __o shame in it. Some of us needs an edge on things make us feel right, else we ain__ like feeling at all, aye?
